Impact of a bladder cuff excision during radical nephroureterectomy on cancer specific survival in patients with upper tract urothelial cancer in Korea: a retrospective, multi-institutional study

The nephroureterectomy surgery has been utilized for more than 100 years. In 1898, Dentu and Albarran described the first nephroureterectomy, which only involved removing a portion of the ureter (1). Kimball and Ferris subsequently noted tumor recurrences in the remaining distal portion of the ureter, and expressed the importance of resecting the entire ureter; from renal pelvis to the intramural ureter (2). In 1991 the first laparoscopic nephroureterectomy (LNU) was reported by Clayman (3). The first report of the use of a surgical robot for nephrectomy was reported in 2001, followed by the first robotic assisted heminephroureterectomy in 2004, although this was performed for recurrent infections and incontinence due to ectopic ureters, not upper tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC) (4,5). In 2006, Nanigian et al. subsequently reported the first robotic-assisted laparoscopic nephroureterectomy (RANU) (6,7). For high-grade UTUC, radical nephroureterectomy has been and still is the standard of care. In this review, we describe the radical nephroureterectomy, specific nuances, areas of debate, outcomes, and the future of the procedure. Description of techniqueNephroureterectomy is best categorized into two parts of the surgery: (I) radical nephrectomy and (II) distal ureterectomy (8). Each of these parts can be performed with
